Hi buddies! Thank you for visiting our Podcast. We’re a group of students from Hoi An in Vietnam. Here is a stage for sharing Vietnamese culture and tradition. Each episode, we’re gonna dive into various aspects such as customs, people, festivals, food and beverage. Hopefully, our show can awaken your curiosity of exploring a real Vietnam. See you somewhere!
Do you know a fact that the Vietnamese rarely say “thank you” in a direct way? Have you ever wondered what they say to express gratitude instead? More than a saying, the way the Vietnamese showing their appreciation to others in daily life, formal contexts, and special occasions can tell you that how distinctive and profound our identity is.
In this episode, we’re gonna mention detail of when and how the locals appreciate someone and the truth of saying “thank you”. Thank you for your time and enjoy your listening!

On The Tray
Tray is a Vietnamese old-fashioned traditional kitchen tool. In fact, the phrase “On the tray” is literally used as a metaphor implying table etiquette in Vietnam.
In this episode, we’re giving you the relationship between “old tray” and “Vietnamese table manners”. We also mention the traditional and spiritual values of the tray on a daily basis. Finally, there are some profound Vietnamese proverbs, which are used to describe things happening around the tray at the end of the episode.

Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam
Mid-Autumn Festival or also known as the Children’s Festival is the time for gathering, when parents should do the best to make a meaningful childhood for their babies. However, we haven't experienced the special Mid-Autumn Festival like this ever. It's been happening in a strange way that no one expected, no drumming sounds, no lion dance in the bustling atmosphere in street with the huge flow of people and children as usual. So hopefully we can bring you guys some characteristic flavors of this holiday through our sweety sounds in the latest episode
Happy Tết Trung Thu, Vietnam!
